Could a normal person dodge this? Syd considered that he was no Flash. With his floating flight ability only at level four, there was no way he could dodge these damn things.

After all, the speed of a level four floating flight had not yet reached the speed of sound.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of upgrading his floating flight to level five.

Perhaps, level five would be different? Unfortunately, thinking too much now was useless; there was no time to upgrade his floating flight ability. Faced with another wave of eight white-shell missiles, he had to find a solution.

Black particles? No, currently, the black particles were only at level three, with a range of only about twenty meters. They couldn't destroy the missiles from a distance.

Still, Syd decided to give it a try.

[Black Particle +1]

The next second, black ripples appeared from his hand, shooting towards one of the rapidly approaching white-shell missiles.

In almost a blink, the two collided.

But then, something unexpected happened. As soon as the black particles touched the missile, it seemed to trigger something, and the missile instantly exploded!

Boom! The flames and shockwaves spread, and the remaining missiles were also triggered and exploded!

Boom! Another violent explosion with a radius of nearly two hundred meters occurred! Syd's expression changed slightly, but he had prepared himself mentally. As soon as he shot the black particles, he was ready with the deflection shield.

Three invisible deflection shields stood in front of him.

The shockwaves from the explosion were incredibly fast, hitting the deflection shields almost instantly.

At the same time, Syd activated his spatial shift. (Some names of skills got reworked to fit better)

[Spatial Shift +1]

[Spatial Shift +1]

As he resisted the explosion, he kept using spatial shifts, trying to escape the blast radius.

However, he underestimated the speed of the expanding explosion. Even after several spatial shifts, he couldn't escape the blast radius immediately.

The speed of the flames and shockwaves matched his spatial shift speed.

Or rather, although the blast radius was nearly two hundred meters, its speed could reach several kilometers per second, hitting him instantly, making it impossible to dodge.

Moreover, spatial shifting was limited by the speed of thought. Before each shift, he needed to think about where to move, and even though his thoughts moved faster than ordinary people, it still took time.

He could only activate the next shift after reaching the new position, creating inevitable delays.

Even if these delays were short, they were still a weakness.

Otherwise, teleporters like Nightcrawler and Azazel would have been invincible and not just side characters.

Currently, spatial shift was only at level two, with each shift covering just about ten meters…

Although he hadn't escaped the blast radius immediately, the buffer time created by the continuous shifting and the deflection shields allowed them to last much longer.

With the protection of chaos magic, Syd remained unharmed for now.

In the military base.

Seeing another explosion, the military personnel looked hopeful, with some already imagining the charred remains of Syd hitting the ground and turning into a pile of mush.

To their astonishment, they saw a figure emerge from the explosion's remnants.

Looking closely, it was Messiah, seemingly unharmed?

This is an Omega mutant? In an instant, they were filled with dread.

If it were any other superpowered being in the missile's blast center, they'd likely be vaporized. Only this rumored Omega mutant could withstand such an absurdly powerful missile strike unscathed.

Because of this, they were even more determined to eliminate this Omega mutant!

Such a severe threat had to be dealt with! Almost simultaneously, another wave of missiles appeared!

On the scene.

Syd hurried towards the city while glaring at the approaching white dots, his face grim.

If this continued, he wasn't sure how long he could hold out. His light energy wasn't infinite.

He had considered using spatial shifts to reach the city continuously.

However, the city was still quite a distance away, and his light energy couldn't sustain thousands of spatial shifts.

Moreover, with these missiles traveling at several times the speed of sound, continuous spatial shifts might not even shake them off.

Flying rapidly towards the city, Syd mixed in spatial shifts for added speed.

Boom boom boom!

Another round of violent explosions erupted! Soon, more missiles followed.

Syd's light energy was depleting rapidly.

In the military base.

Watching this, the officers' eyes brightened.

The first Omega mutant was about to die by their hands! The fourth wave's remnants cleared…

The sixth wave…

The tenth wave…

The twenty-fifth wave…

In the military base, the officers, who had been hopeful and smug, were now filled with astonishment.

Despite twenty-five consecutive waves of missile bombardment, Messiah was still not dead? Are Omega mutants really this hard to kill?

However, there was some relief.

After twenty-five waves of missile bombardment, the satellite images showed that Messiah appeared quite battered, with charred, tattered clothing, seemingly on the verge of collapse!

Every officer's eyes shone with excitement.

Just a bit more, and Messiah would be dead! The Omega mutant threat would be eliminated!

Suddenly, their expressions changed as Messiah neared the city, its outline visible in the distance.

"Stop him!" General Luca shouted.

The personnel firing the missiles scrambled in panic.

On the scene.

Glancing at the approaching missiles and the city's silhouette in the distance, Syd felt the remaining light energy within him and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a series of deflection shields and spatial shifts, only a fifth of his light energy remained.

Fortunately, he reached the city before his light energy ran out; otherwise…

As he approached the city rapidly, his mood grew heavy.

If the city were five kilometers further, he might have been in real danger, potentially bombed to death by the missiles! "It seems my strength is still insufficient, and my light energy reserves need to increase…"

Syd felt the urgency.

If he didn't continue to enhance his abilities, the next time, it might be the end of him.

This time, it was only because the city was near.

Otherwise…
